State Fact Sheet Telangana Ministry of Health and Family Welfare National Family Health Survey - 4 2015 -16 State Fact Sheet Telangana International Institute for Population Sciences (Deemed University) Mumbai 1 Introduction The National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4), the fourth in the NFHS series, provides information on population, health and nutrition for India and each State / Union territory. NFHS-4, for the first time, provides district-level estimates for many important indicators. The contents of previous rounds of NFHS are generally retained and additional components are added from one round to another. In this round, information on malaria prevention, migration in the context of HIV, abortion, violence during pregnancy etc. have been added. The scope of clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical testing (CAB) or Biomarker component has been expanded to include measurement of blood pressure and blood glucose levels. NFHS-4 sample has been designed to provide district and higher level estimates of various indicators covered in the survey. However, estimates of indicators of sexual behaviour, husband’s background and woman’s work, HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, and, domestic violence will be available at State and national level only. As in the earlier rounds, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India designated International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai as the nodal agency to conduct NFHS-4. The main objective of each successive round of the NFHS has been to provide essential data on health and family welfare and emerging issues in this area. NFHS-4 data will be useful in setting benchmarks and examining the progress in health sector the country has made over time. Besides providing evidence for the effectiveness of the ongoing programmes, the data from NFHS-4 help in identifying need for new programmes with area specific focus. Four Survey Schedules - Household, Woman’s, Man’s and Biomarker - were canvassed in local language using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). In the Household Schedule, information was collected on all usual members of the household and visitors who stayed in the household the previous night as well as socio-economic characteristics of the household, water and sanitation, health insurance, number of deaths in the household in the three years preceding the survey etc. Information on the woman’s characteristics, marriage, fertility, children’s immunizations and childcare, nutrition, contraception, reproductive health, sexual behaviour, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, etc. was canvassed in the Woman’s Schedule. The Man’s Schedule covered the man’s characteristics, marriage, his number of children, contraception, fertility preferences, nutrition, sexual behaviour, attitudes towards gender roles, HIV/AIDS, etc. The Biomarker Schedule covered measurements of height, weight and haemoglobin levels for children; measurements of height, weight, haemoglobin levels, blood pressure, and random blood glucose level for women aged 15-49 years and men aged 15-54 years. In addition, women and men were requested to provide a few drops of blood from a finger prick for laboratory testing for HIV. This fact sheet provides information on key indicators and trends for Telangana. The figures of NFHS-4 and that of earlier rounds may not be strictly comparable due to differences in sample size and NFHS-4 will be a benchmark for future surveys. NFHS-4 fieldwork for Telangana was from 23 February 2015 to 9 May 2015 by GFK Mode Private Limited and gathered information from 7,786 households, 7,567 women, and 1,054 men. Fact sheets for each district of Telangana are also available separately. 1 Telangana - Key Indicators Indicators NFHS-4 (2015-16) Population and Household Profile Urban Rural Total 1.

Specifically, women are considered to have unmet need for spacing if they are: · At risk of becoming pregnant, not using contraception, and either do not want to become pregnant within the next two years, or are unsure if or when they want to become pregnant. · Pregnant with a mistimed pregnancy. · Postpartum amenorrheic for up to two years following a mistimed birth and not using contraception. Women are considered to have unmet need for limiting if they are: · At risk of becoming pregnant, not using contraception, and want no (more) children. · Pregnant with an unwanted pregnancy. · Postpartum amenorrheic for up to two years following an unwanted birth and not using contraception. Women who are classified as infecund have no unmet need because they are not at risk of becoming pregnant. Unmet need for family planning is the sum of unmet need for spacing plus unmet need for limiting. 6 Based on current users of female sterilization, IUD/PPIUD, injectables and pill who started using that method in the past 5 years.

Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

  • 1. Dialects Telugu Is Spoken in Andhra Pradesh State, Which Consists of 23 Districts
    Language Specific Peculiarities Document for TELUGU as Spoken in INDIA Telugu is the most widely spoken language of the Dravidian family. It is one of the five officially designated classical languages of India. 1. Dialects Telugu is spoken in Andhra Pradesh state, which consists of 23 districts. These districts can be divided into three regions: Coastal Andhra (9 districts), Rayalaseema (4 districts) and Telangana (10 districts). There are four major dialect areas spread over these regions. Northern dialects are spoken in Telangana; Southern dialects are spoken in Rayalaseema and the two southernmost districts of Coastal Andhra; and the Eastern dialects are spoken in the three northern districts of Coastal Andhra. A set of Central dialects is spoken in the four middle districts of Coastal Andhra, at the meeting place of the three regions. The table below lists the major dialects of Andhra Pradesh based on geographical distribution. Dialect region Districts or Cities Guntur, Krishna, East Godavari and West Central (Standard) Godavari East Visakhapatnam, Vijayanagaram, Srikakulam Nellore, Prakasham, Cuddapah (Kadapa), South Kurnool, Chittoor, Anantapur North Ten different Telangana districts Standard Telugu is spoken in Central Andhra (Guntur, Krishna, East Godavari and West Godavari). Unlike some other Indian languages, Telugu does not have a sharp diglossia between its spoken form and its formal written variety. The standard written form is a close match with the standard central dialects. Appen collected data from each of the four dialect regions listed in the table above: Central, East, South, and North. The dialects of Srikakulam (which borders the region of Orissa) and Adilabad (one of the Telangana dialects, bordering the region of Maharashtra) are considered to be mutually unintelligible with the standard dialect and were not collected.

  • Linguistic Convergence and Divergence in Telugu-Urdu Contact
    International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS), 2014, Vol 1, No.5, 257-261. 257 Available online at http://www.ijims.com ISSN: 2348 – 0343 Linguistic Convergence and Divergence in Telugu-Urdu Contact Situation: A Study with Special Reference to Telangana Dialect Venkanna Ithagani The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India. Abstract Contact between two or more languages as well as cultures in India is a common phenomenon. In such contexts, it is possible that the elements can be transferred from one language to another. The contact induced changes can be measured at all levels of a language and the results will be far more visible even when the languages involved belong to genetically homogeneous families. Convergence and divergence, two opposite directions of language change, describe the increase and decrease in similarity between languages (cf.Auer at al. 2005:1).The present study attempts to answer a set of questions concerning the internal mechanisms of a language contact situation and its effects, i.e. linguistic convergence and divergence. It focuses on the linguistic convergence of Telangana, a dialect of Telugu spoken in Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh to Urdu spoken in Telangana region, and at the same time its divergence from standard variety of Telugu. This is an interesting phenomenon to study that how a dialect coming in contact with another language moves closer to it and the same dialect move further away from its standard form. Key words: Convergence, Divergence, Language change and Standard variety. Introduction Telangana region was ruled over by Moguls and Nizams, whose official languages were Persian and Urdu.
